When Ads Were . . . Hallucinations?


From Dover's Old-Time Trade Cards:

Cherub brings little girl a vision of her future.

(You can tell she's a girl because her dress is pink. Boys wore dresses in nice masculine colours, like white.)

But the other one? Cherubs in togas taking photo of corset with cacti growing out of it? What's that about? Something you might see after a few relaxing hours at the opium den?
